I wouldn't say he's a figurehead... [ It's more that they don't seem to fix their mistakes and seem to make things worse than they already are. ]

It's more like they avoid the real problems and don't say much when asked about it. But well, if it's once a week, I guess there's a difference in how stories are dealt with rather than a monthly newspaper.

But I honestly wasn't expecting a salary when I volunteered. It's not like I got paid when I was doing it at school, so I don't really mind not getting paid here as well. Besides, I'm already working a part time job here as well as going to school, so I get plenty of credits already from that.
